ANU VICE-CHANCELLOR'S CITATION FOR OUTSTANDING
CONTRIBUTION TO STUDENT LEARNING
CANDIDATE
As a team, Dr Katrina Grant and Dr Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller have developed an interdisciplinary education program in Digital Humanities (DH) that is student-focused, research-led and publicly engaged. They teach students to develop expertise in computational methods and critical evaluation of the digital world from a humanities perspective. Students are encouraged to engage with each other, and to see themselves as experts and future leaders in new fields across academia and industry.
"I often redevelop my courses quite a lot every time I teach them. And the reason I do that is not because I am a glutton for punishment but because [the Digital Humanities is] a really new and evolving field."
"What I want is for my students to learn what they need for them to be able to pick up any software and engage with any database, so wherever they go, they have the skills that they need to excel."
